Study Notes
SPF Algorithm
- The Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm uses Dijkstra's algorithm.
- Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest path based on costs (weights) assigned to edges in a graph.
- Further details on Dijkstra's algorithm are available in Algorithms, Data Structures Note II, by Sándor Szénási.
